1134 At arms length

SUMIRE

Sumire takes a deep breath and is about to explain but to her surprise Toh takes Tamaki from her hands and lifts him up.

"I want to live with you Tam. I'll be very happy if you're by my side."

Seeing this scene, Sumire felt her eyes water. 'Is this, can I finally repay Toh's kindness? If I let Tam live with him- can this child bring him happiness? Can it comfort him a little?' 

Sumire feels a brushing sensation on her arm and blinks. She glanced over at Yuhi. He had his back turned to her but he can sense her emotions through the bond. 

'Are you okay? Do you need a hug?'

At those words she laughed softly. 'I'm okay. Toh suggested taking Tam to live with him.'
